Curious If Alcohol Is Affecting Your Heart or Liver?

If you’re facing signs like unexplained tiredness, poor sleep, or even new-onset high blood pressure, it may be time to look closer at your alcohol intake. Many in the UK underestimate how much regular drinking can silently affect their well-being.

What Is a Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin (CDT) Test?

The CDT blood test measures specific changes in a protein in your blood. Raised CDT indicates heavy drinking, sometimes long before you feel any physical symptoms. That’s why it’s such a helpful tool for early action.

Frequently asked questions

Is a home CDT test as accurate as a clinic visit?

A home blood test offers privacy and convenience, and is just as accurate as a clinic test when you follow instructions closely.

Does collecting a sample at home hurt?

The home testing kit is designed to be painless and simple. Place the device on your finger, collect a small sample—no painful needles required.

What if my CDT result is abnormal?

A normal level is reassuring, but if CDT is high, it’s a strong signal to reduce alcohol intake and speak to a healthcare professional about next steps.
